This index combines three variables that no one else puts together: the real cost of living in July-August (meals, accommodation, local transport, groceries, not just hotels), the precise summer weather calculated from satellite data, and tourist safety cross-referenced against three independent sources. Each country gets a score out of 100. Flights, trains and ferries are not included: we only measure what happens once you arrive.

• →Uzbekistan finishes first, and it's no coincidence: 27°C in July, one of the lowest costs of living in Central Asia, and a two-week trip estimated at under $2,200 for two people, excluding transport.
• →Egypt has the best budget score among the top-rated summer destinations: 97 out of 100. With Morocco just behind, North Africa confirms it remains one of the most accessible regions in the world during high season.
• →Algeria and Spain have exactly the same weather score this summer: 96 out of 100. The difference is price: a trip to Algeria costs roughly half the price of an equivalent trip to Spain at comparable comfort.
• →Tanzania finishes thirty-one places ahead of Croatia. Yet in the collective imagination, a safari is synonymous with inaccessible luxury. The data tells a different story: the cost of living on the ground is well below that of the Adriatic coast.
• →Greece is the most expensive European destination in the summer ranking, with the lowest budget score in the top 25. For the same budget, there are alternatives with better sunshine and a better safety score.
